Paintbooks: 2002-2019

On one of my first travels abroad, I developed the process of starting each location painting with a small sketch in pencil, then color, then paint, then 3-d fold outs and unique effects.  It grew into about 50 (so far) collections of priceless studies inside a hardcover.   These are not journals or finished artworks.  They are painted books to record a quick inspiration that a camera cannot  capture.  So, the term 'Paintbooks' came home with me.
